We have a very friendly 1.5 year old black lab mix that LOVES to play with other dogs! We are an active family and your pup will get daily walks and tons of play time in our large fenced back yard. We also have a doggie door so the dogs can lounge outside whenever they like. And best of all, there is a great dog park right down the street to run themselves out at daily! Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and your pup will get all of the belly scratches she or he can handle at the Barkow house! We do have two very friendly old cats that just keep to themselves, so any doggie guests will need to be cat friendly too.
